My friends and I have been doing a seasonal scavenger hunt via Facebook for the past three years. It is a fun way to get out and explore our world, as well as taking notice of the small things in our lives. We also learn a little more about each other every year and it forces those who live away from us to stay in touch in a small way :)

​We've created a secret Facebook group, ​and have a few "rules" ......."The basics are you take pictures of your summer and share them here! It is a closed group, so only members can see the photos. You can invite your friends to play along too - just remember not to share or save pictures without permission." That is it! We're pretty flexible in the interpretation of the items needing to be found - the idea is to have fun after all!

Here is our list this year for inspiration in creating your own! ​Or feel free just to "steal" it - I don't mind :)
